<br>by Crissa-Jean Chappell</font>
<p><i>Faithless</i>, a film based on an unflinching script by the great Swedish
filmmaker Ingmar Bergman, mesmerizes in the way it creates art from life.
Bergman's autobiography, <i>The Magic Lantern</i>, describes a marriage-breaking affair similar to the one in this film -- but <i>Faithless</i> is less a
memoir than a meditation on guilt. Tucked away on the islet of Faro in
Stockholm's archipelago, Bergman, now 82, wrote the story in isolation and
sent it to his former mistress, the radiant Liv Ullmann, his leading lady in
the 1960s and early '70s who starred in tour de forces such as <i>Persona</i> (1966) and
<i>Scenes from a Marriage</i> (1973).
